Sophie's six-birdie surge into Florida last eight

Clitheroe's 17-year-old rising star Sophie Lamb won by 3 and 2 over Elle Nachmann in her first tie of the Jones-Doherty Challenge Cup Orange Blossom Tour match-play event at Coral Ridge Country Club, Fort Lauderdale.
It was a quality match that produced EIGHT birdies - six of them by Sophie - in a day of mid-20s temperatures.
Sophie's dad Phil reports:
"Elle meant business from the off as she birdied the first two holes to be  two up on the third tee. 
"Sophie then hit top form with birdies at 4, 5, 7 and 8 to turn two up. Two more birdies on the back nine - the result of some accurate iron shots - nine saw her close out the match on the 16th green. 
"Sophie said it was the best she has played since arriving in Florida and she really enjoyed the match. 
"Tomorrow she plays another local player, Jamie Freedman, in the quarter-finals. Jamie beat Georgia Oboh today."
Thanks, Phil whose wife Carina is caddieing for their daughter at Coral Ridge.
